Sue has brought the Lego down from the loft and is now happily playing with it in the conservatory. Correction, is preparing it for Bethany to play with in the conservatory...

Perhaps we should have a Transformers and Lego night!

:shock:

It seems perfectly reasonable for adults to play with Lego. I would be very pleased if Beth enjoyed the Lego as much as I did! :D

I remember building my own lego town with my dad. Endless hours of fun were spent with that. My mum often tells me stories about me playing with it and different scenarios I conjured up. For me, lego is a brilliant toy because it is both full of immense fun but also very educational in terms of design, construction and spatial awareness.

I also remember when I got older. about 10-12. I demolished everything and built my own grand prix circuit (well, as big as the extendable dining room table could allow) complete with my own lego technic cars. I am not saying it was incredible and full of innovative designs but it was damn impressive for a young lad!

The GP is a good idea, I was more into space ships and robots etc. . . . it just goes to show that the lego itself is simply there to realise our imaginations - good for any age! :D

I always felt that lego technic was better for robots because it meant that they ALMOST became real with their moveable arms, etc.

Spaceships were cool. I was annoyed that I missed the Star Wars versions of Lego. Having just visited my mate in Wakefield who built the rebel alliance ship (which is huge) I must admit that I was jealous up until the point of when he told me how much it cost him.

Sanj has an amazing collection of lego including the Star Destroyer . . . that is an ace model. Here is a picture of it on the Lego Website.

Actually..... :oops: ...... that was the one Stuart has built.

I wish I could afford that stuff. It's not for me obviously, purely research purposes.

Lego Sweets! are avaliabe in the US of A. Pretty cool idea until I read the rest of the blog. Parents will not be impressed because they have spent their entire life so far telling them not to eat the lego blocks, now Kellogs are making them believe that they taste of strawberrys. . . . right. . . .

What would be really cool is if you go instructions with them to build something, for example a car, and then ate it.

Lego computer solves a rubix cube in 12 seconds max. Usually it takes about 5 seconds to complete. Amazing programming and also building!
